Stampin' Chez Moi

It was so much fun to play in my studio yesterday ~ the house is still upside down, but I did my best to put that thought on ignore! I did have a hard time focusing and it took me all day to create an Anniversary card for my wonderful parents!   I found a great sketch at the  Inkspirations Challenge , they have wonderful challenges that you really need to check out! My colors were inspired by the  UDI Color Challenge  and they also have a wonderful blog that really deserves a visit! I don't know about you, but I find it really difficult to get my creative juices flowing after I've been out of my studio for awhile ~ and I really felt it yesterday ~ but I was determined and kept playing until I was please with the out come.  So without any further delay ~ here is my creation ~ It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday, so outside I went to take these photo's ~ and yes, it was very hard for me to be in the house on such a nice day, I love to play in my garde...

I can't believe that I'm posting tonight! I've got a Techniques class on Monday night, nothing was ready for this, painting is still being done ~ but I needed to create something and pronto ~ so I took little breaks along the way as the inspiration came ~ This is the emboss resist technique and I just love the outcome of my card. I found it really hard to take a picture that actually did the card justice, but alas...it wasn't to be! Another bonus was bestowed upon me as I came across this new weekly challenge blog called A La Card Monkey . The challenge this week was Nature ~ how wonderful ~  I know this is shocking ~ out came the sponges and I sponged, sponged & sponged ~ ran upstairs and did more painting, painting, painting...and so this is how my week went ~ here's my creation ~  I sure hope you enjoyed your time with me ~ if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask ~ I hope you have a wonderful day ~ Thanks for stopping by If you ...
